The importance of biodiversity is being more widely recognized as increasing numbers of species come under threat.
It is obvious that the
numbers
of species
endangered have drawn the attention of ecologists, scientists and environmentalists around the world for decades. Since the growing numbers
of species
under threat has a huge impact on biodiversity, countermeasures for preventing the loss of more species
should be taken seriously.
Typically, the first
step towards conserving the diverse species
should be educating the local people about the vital role of the domestic species
in the ecosystem. Most citizens in developing countries are nonchalant about their environment chiefly due to severe poverty and the lack of knowledge. For instance
, in Africa, the numbers
of Pangolin species
are declining as there is a high demand for Pangolin meat and skin, on the other hand
, this
can help a local solve his financial problems by easy means.
Secondly
, there are different methods of breeding the endangered species
administered by conservationists such
as artificial insemination and having sperm banks for the future. Nevertheless
, for this
to carry out, conservationists need funds from the government or some organization body. In particular
, there are several different endemic species
in the Galapagos Island and they all are facing extinction however
local government provide the budget for conserving these species
by creating the island for tourism.
To sum up, in the past, people are quite negligent about the declining numbers
of species
but now they start to see the vital role of biodiversity in our ecosystem. Hopefully, in the next
few decades, more and more people are aware and be able to protect the species
under pressure successfully.Submitted by Shwe Yamin on
